Jiang Yu placed Ye Xue on the sofa and turned to pour her a cup of hot water.

The joy of meeting Ye Xue had mostly has settled on the way back.

From the moment he ran out of the car to the moment he brought her back, he did everything subconsciously, as if he could not control himself.

Now that he had calmed down, he realised that what he had done was somewhat unreasonable.

The doctor stood behind Jiang Yu with his medicine box and asked in a low voice, “Director Jiang, who is sick?”

Jiang Yu pointed at Ye Xue who was on the sofa and said, “My friend seems to have a fever. Take a look at her.”

“Let me take her temperature first.” The doctor put down the medicine box and opened it. He took out the thermometer from inside and reached out to take Ye Xue’s temperature.

“Wait a minute.” Jiang Yu reached out and took the thermometer from the doctor’s hand and handed it to Ye Xue. “Do it yourself.”

The doctor was shocked by Jiang Yu’s words. His hand froze in mid-air and he didn’t react for a long time.

In order to make Jiang Yu feel at ease, Ye Xue obediently took the thermometer and put it between her armpit.

At this time, Fu Tingyan walked over and looked at the woman sitting on the sofa. This time, he was able to see her face clearly. Ye Xue?

Why did Jiang Yu bring Ye Xue Back?

They got back together?

Jiang Yu could tell from Fu Tingyan’s expression that he had a lot of doubts now.

The two of them exchanged a look and walked out one after another.

When they exited the living room and arrived at the side hall, Fu Tingyan asked, “What happened between you and Ye Xue?”

“I saw her getting caught in the rain when I got off work, so I brought her back.” Jiang Yu walked to the bar counter and sat down. He picked up the thermal flask and poured himself and Fu Tingyan a cup of hot water each.

“You brought her back just like that? Are you planning to get back together with her?” Fu Tingyan also walked to the bar counter and sat down.

Jiang Yu explained, “You’re thinking too much. I just saw her getting caught in the rain and was afraid that she would catch a cold, so I offered her to get into my car. In the end, she was running a fever so I brought her back.”

“This is what you mean when you said you can still be friends with your ex-girlfriend?” Fu Tingyan asked.

“I’m not as decisive as you, but the results are the same.”Jiang Yu took a sip of hot water from his glass. He remembered that Fu Tingyan wanted to bring wine, so he asked, “What wine did you bring?”

Fu Tingyan was proud when it came to wine. “This wine is priceless. I took it from my grandmother.”

Jiang Yu asked, “What about the game company?”

Fu Tingyan said, “It’s already being planned. It is scheduled to open in May next year.”

Ye Xue stood at the entrance. She had heard their conversation just now and felt a stabbing pain in her chest.

She walked over and tried to sound nonchalant, “Jiang Yu, I’ve already taken my temperature. I don’t have a fever. I have to rush home, so I’ll be leaving first. Thank you.”

She turned and walked out into the living room, picked up her coat on the sofa and left the villa.

Jiang Yu was stunned for a few seconds before he stood up and chased after her.

“Xiaoxue, I’ll send you home.”

“No need, I’ll just take the bus home.” Ye Xue smiled at Jiang Yu, pulled open the door and walked out. She had just taken a step when her wrist was grabbed by Jiang Yu. “It’s still raining outside. There’s no bus stop nearby, and it’s not easy to get a taxi. I’ll send you home.”

Jiang Yu didn’t wait for her to respond and shouted into the house, “Xiao Qi, hand me the car keys.”

In Jiang Yu’s villa, besides the car he used for work, he also owned a sports car that he seldom used.

Fu Tingyan walked over with the keys and handed them to him. He looked at Ye Xue. After not seeing her for more than four years, he realized that she had changed quite a lot. Not only had she become more beautiful, but her disposition seemed to have changed as well.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, Ye Xue.”

After four years, like Jiang Yu, Fu Tingyan had transformed from a teenager to a man. His features had sharpened, and he had grown much taller.

Ye Xue replied, “Indeed.”

“I’ll send you back. It’ll be a quick ride.” Jiang Yu took the keys and realised he was holding her hand. Afraid that Ye Xue would misunderstand, he released her hand and walked out.

Ye Xue was a little hesitant.

Fu Tingyan noticed this and said, “We’re classmates. Let Xiao Qi send you.”

“Alright.” Ye Xue nodded and followed Jiang Yu.

On the road, Jiang Yu drove at a moderate speed.

Ye Xue looked out of the window and her thoughts were a little chaotic.

In the car, in this narrow space, the atmosphere was indescribably awkward.

Jiang Yu thought about meeting Xiaoxue at the entrance of the company. To reduce the awkwardness, he took the initiative to ask, “Are you working at Xinyue?”

“Yes, I didn’t know you were the president of Xinyue.” She had seen the recruitment information on the Internet. She only knew that Xinyue Group was a large company, and didn’t pay much attention to who the president was.

Jiang Yu thought solemnly. In other words, if she had known that Jiang Yu was the president of Xinyue, she wouldn’t have chosen to work here to avoid any awkwardness.

He tried his best to ask calmly, “When did you come to work? Why didn’t I hear of it?”

Ye Xue replied, “It’s been a week.”

“Are you used to it?”

“Yes.”

“Which department are you in?”

“It hasn’t been confirmed yet. I’m currently doing odd jobs.”

Odd jobs?

Jiang Yu gripped the steering wheel tightly. They had not seen each other for a year, and they had become so unfamiliar that even a simple conversation had become a formality.

When the conversation ended, the atmosphere fell into an awkward state once again.

The awkwardness persisted throughout the car ride.

When they reached their destination, Jiang Yu stopped the car and gazed at the small alley too narrow for the car to fit through. Jiang Yu’s hands still gripped the steering wheel tightly.

In the past year, he had not looked for her, nor did he know hear any news about her.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t find her, but that he was afraid to.

Like what Fu Tingyan said, he couldn’t bear to see her with another man. Having to smile and send them his best wishes would be too painful.

He suddenly understood why Fu Tingyan said that one must either be a lover or a stranger. Letting go is to free yourself.

Ye Xue tightly fastened the straps on her bag. She felt the need to say something, so she did. “Jiang Yu.”

“Yes?” Jiang Yu turned to look at her, waiting for her to continue.

Ye Xue said, “If you feel awkward seeing me, I’ll resign tomorrow.”

Jiang Yu felt silly for expecting something more. His smile was weak. “You’re afraid of embarrassment, right? If you knew that I was the director of Xinyue, you wouldn’t have applied to work here. Am I right?”

Ye Xue pursed her lips and didn’t deny it. If she had known that Jiang Yu was the president of Xinyue, she might not have submitted her resume.

Ye Xue’s silence meant a tacit agreement.

Jiang Yu asked again, “We can’t even be friends anymore, can we?”

Ye Xue looked down at her hands. As she was nervous, she had been holding onto her shoulder bag tightly. She didn’t let go for even a moment. She replied, “Jiang Yu, we’ve always been classmates and friends.”

Jiang Yu laughed lowly.. “But you even blocked my WeChat and number.”
